What People Say

"I had the great pleasure of having Janelle work for me for a three month period at the end of 2012. Janelle delivered everything I needed and more. Her relationship building skills are exceptional. She quickly gained my trust and the trust of the trainers and provided the very individualised coaching and support they needed. She established positive working relationships with key stakeholders in the business in a short period of time and ensured their needs were heard and met.

Janelle was highly proactive, suggesting all kinds of real improvements that have been taken on. In her short time with us, she made a really strong positive contribution and the impact remains.

If you decide to take Janelle on to do work with and for you, I am confident based on my experience that you will have made a great choice."

She always acted professionally, focussed on the task in hand, had excellent communication skills across the whole business structure and delivered what was required. Janelle was always supportive however would challenge where she felt there could be a risk to the team or business, presenting the facts clearly, however always offering alternatives.

Janelle has an excellent approach to her work and is a personable individual who has a great talent for making the person with whom she is talking, feel valued and most importantly, heard.

Janelle is a true HR and training professional who is adaptable and can work in multiple sectors. I would not hesitate to recommend Janelle and her company 'About Change' to anyone."

"Janelle Bailey has worked for Darkstorm Services Group since 2009 as an HR and Training consultant when she was recommended to support the company through a change management process, following a number of redundancies within the office. Janelle spent time with each department on a one to one basis developing skills, coaching senior managers and assisting with the recruitment.

Due to the positive impact and success Janelle had with the company, the decision was taken to continue working with About Change Ltd to provide HR advice. She has been a pillar of support since she started with the company and has always remained a complete professional in all areas. Janelle is helpful, pragmatic and knowledgeable, as well as having the right balance of patience required for her role. Janelle is continually rated excellent by the delegates on the training programmes and the feedback we receive is always very positive. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Janelle and look forward to working with her again in the near future."
